How could he escape from his own master's palm? His body had long been sealed with a talisman by his master, and no matter where he went, he would be found.

  Helpless, he could only disperse his troops on his own, protect his divine consciousness, and hide in this ancient well, barely holding on.

  As for Gu Ding... it fell into the hands of his senior brother back then, and later this senior brother also betrayed the sect. From then on, Gu Ding's whereabouts were unknown.

  Lin Qingyao furrowed her brow, of course she could recognize it, this ancient tripod was the one that nearly took her life.

  Lin Qingyao initially thought that the ancient tripod was no ordinary object, but she only assumed it was a magical artifact, at most a powerful one. However, today, she didn't think so anymore.

  From the memory of this divine consciousness, Lin Qingyao learned that he himself was also a direct disciple of Mao Mountain. People with such qualifications, in general, even if they made mistakes, would not cause the entire Mao Mountain to shake. This ancient cauldron must be extraordinary.

  Lin Qingyao shook her head, not thinking about this matter anymore. She thought that it had nothing to do with her anyway. The black-clothed female cultivator already knew that the thing was not on her body, and she just hoped that she wouldn't be entangled in this messy affair again in the future.

  She now just wants to cultivate peacefully and steadily.

  Xu Ran looked at Lin Qingyao with caution, saying: "Qingyao, is everything okay? I see you... seem to be in a trance-like state. I wanted to get close to you, but was pushed away by an unknown force..."

  Lin Qingyao came back to her senses and smiled at Xu Ran: "It's nothing, I was just competing with him in magic." Simple as it sounded, only Lin Qingyao knew the danger that lay within.

  "That... him..." Xu Ran said with a hint of excitement, wanting to confirm the final result with Lin Qingyao. In fact, Xu Ran could also guess it, but he still wanted to hear Lin Qingyao tell him personally that the thing that had almost killed him back then had been eliminated by her.

  Lin Qingyao's eyes sparkled as she turned around and gazed at the deep well, saying in a light tone: "I've already taken care of it."

  Lin Qingyao turned around and said to Xu Ran: "I'll go down and take a look, you just stay up here and keep watch for me."

  Before her words had fallen, Lin Qingyao jumped into the well.

  Xu Ran shouted with a worried face: "Qingyao, be careful!"

  Lin Qingyao had now fallen into the well. This ancient well was surprisingly deeper the further down it went, and the lower she fell, the colder it became.

  In the divine consciousness of that male cultivator named Zhao Long, many things about this ancient well were recorded. This ancient well was also a wonderful place!

  The well went down further and further, but instead of becoming narrower, it became wider and more spacious. When we finally reached the bottom, it had transformed into a cold pond, emitting misty cold air.

  On the well wall, a lot of white ice crystals had condensed, which were not ordinary ice crystals, but cold soul crystals. They were formed in places with dense ice attribute spiritual energy and took years to cultivate, and could be used to nourish the divine soul.

  Zhaolong's divine consciousness relied on these cold soul crystals to survive, but unfortunately, the effect of these cold soul crystals was limited and could only slow down the decline of his divine consciousness, rather than truly making it stronger.

  So Zhao Long would go out and devour the essence and spirit of others in the six alleys to nourish himself.

  Lin Qingyao coldly snorted: "You're really asking for death!"

  Although Lin Qingyao had integrated Zhao Long's divine consciousness, it was not her own after all. Many things, Lin Qingyao still did not know the cause and effect, such as how Zhao Long knew about this ancient well.

  Anyway, Lin Qingyao managed to get a good deal this time.

  Hansheng crystal is a good thing, this thing for the pure divine consciousness, the effect can only slow down the decline of divine consciousness, but for normal cultivators, it is truly possible to enhance divine consciousness.

  It's just a pity that this thing can't be stored directly and needs to be stored in a jade box. Lin Qingyao rummaged through her things and found the five jade boxes she had found at Yunmen back then. When she went to sell ginseng, she hadn't been willing to use these jade boxes with carved symbols to hold the ginseng - if she had done that, it would have been a real waste of good jade boxes.

  Carrots are considered a good thing for ordinary people, but in the realm of cultivation, they are actually useless.

  Lin Qingyao carefully collected the cold soul crystal, scraping the entire well wall clean.

  Zhao Long's divine consciousness had been stuck in this well for a long time, and he didn't know what kind of evil technique he was cultivating. The water in the well had gathered a lot of yin and evil energy. At this moment, although Zhao Long had completely disappeared, the yin and evil energy dissipated a bit, but it still made Lin Qingyu feel uncomfortable staying in the well.

  Lin Qingyao endured for a moment, and finally explored the well, discovering that the ice attribute and water attribute spiritual energy here were extremely pure and dense, making it a great place to cultivate!

  "Shao Da Gongzi, Qing Yao is not at home! Don't come in!" Xu Ran's voice was transmitted into the well, and because of the distance, it had become extremely faint by the time it reached Lin Qingyao's ears.

  "Then let me go in and wait for her." Shao Jingming's voice came again.

  Lin Qingyao heard this voice, and her anger was indescribable. That damned Shao Jingming, did he still have the face to show up here? Did he take Lin Qingyao for some soft persimmon that could be squeezed at will?

  Lin Qingyao jumped up and down several times, leaped out of the ancient well, then casually lifted up the large stone that had been covering the mouth of the well, blocking it again.

  Then she quickened her pace and walked forward, and when she was about to leave the backyard, Lin Qingyao stopped for a moment, casually pinched a spell, and transformed into a slightly plump Lin Qingyao. Compared with the one who returned from the auction, she was only slightly thinner, and if you didn't pay attention, you wouldn't notice this subtle difference.

  It was just a simple trick, and Lin Qingyao didn't want to let Shao Jingming, this white-eyed wolf, know about her specific situation.

  "No, you can't come in!" Xu Ran stood firmly at the entrance of the mansion and said resolutely. If Shao Jingming saw something he shouldn't have seen, it would be bad. Qingyao trusted him to guard the outside, so he couldn't shirk his responsibility.

  Xu Ran is a straightforward person and doesn't know how to speak tactfully. When Shao Jingming heard this, he naturally thought that Lin Qingyao was angry with him and didn't want to see him, so he became anxious and jumped up in alarm.

  "I want to see Qingyao, get out of my way!" Shao Jingming's tone turned unpleasant. This foolish kid who suddenly appeared out of nowhere actually dared to block his way from seeing Qingyao!

  Don't look at Shao Jingming, who is usually careless and has the demeanor of a spoiled rich kid, but after all, he is a young master, and no one dares to ignore what he says on a daily basis.

  Lin Qingyao's eyes turned cold as she walked out of the backyard, her voice icy: "Doesn't Young Master Shao know basic manners?"

  Shao Jingming saw Lin Qingyao come out and his face was filled with joy, as if he hadn't heard what Lin Qingyao had just said.

  "Qing... Qing Yao?" Xuran heard Lin Qingyao's voice and turned his head, but unexpectedly saw that Lin Qingyao had changed beyond recognition at this moment, his tone was full of astonishment.

  However, Xu Ran soon reacted and thought to himself, "What kind of person is Lin Qingyao? She's a cultivator. If Qingyao can become thin overnight, she can also become fat in an instant."

  Shao Jingming's complexion was very poor, his eyes were dark, and the beard on his face seemed to have not been trimmed, at this moment full of fatigue and despair.

  But at this moment, seeing Lin Qingyao, a smile appeared on his face: "Qingyao, now that I've seen you, I can rest assured." Heaven knows how guilty he felt in his heart after doing something wrong to Lin Qingyao.

  He was so regretful that he had thought it through, if Qingyao really had an accident, then he would follow Lin Qingyao, the kindness of his parents in raising him, this time, he also counted as clearing it, and lived up to them.

  In the future, the Shao family will rise day by day. With or without this young master, it makes no difference.

  Lin Qingyao's lips were tightly pursed, her face cold as ice. After a long while, she finally spoke in a tone that was like an icicle dropping to the ground: "What, is Young Master Shao here to see if I'm dead or not?"

  Just thinking that she had once saved Shao Jingming's life, and indeed had slowly begun to regard him as a true friend, but he had actually been plotting against her, nearly costing her her own life, made Lin Qingyao seethe with rage.

  She can't tolerate betrayal in this life!

  The person who betrayed her, she hated him so much that she wanted to extract his bones and pull out his tendons! Unexpectedly, before she even had a chance to look for him, he himself came knocking on her door.

  Shao Jingming was momentarily speechless, standing there with a sorrowful expression as he looked at Lin Qingyao: "Qingyao, I'm sorry..." He wasn't stupid, and from Lin Qingyao's attitude towards him now, he understood that she must have found out about his scheme against her.

  Although he didn't mean to, he was wrong and that's all there is to it. This time he came not to seek her forgiveness, but to see if she had any news... If Lin Qingyao ignored him from now on or even hated him, he wouldn't have any complaints.

  "Sorry? You think a simple 'sorry' can erase everything? Do you know or not, I almost lost my life!"

  Xu Ran, who was standing aside, also understood what had happened from the words and expressions. It turned out that Qingyao's injury last night was caused by this kid!

  Xu Ran took a step forward with an angry face and gave Shao Jingming a heavy punch: "Do you know?! Qingyao last night...last night almost..."

  Shao Jingming was punched by Xu Ran and took a big step back. He clenched his fists but didn't fight back.

  Lin Qingyao's face was cold, not only did she not stop Xu Ran, but instead stepped forward and gave Shao Jingming a heavy kick, directly kicking Shao Jingming out of her own yard.

  Shao Jingming fell to the ground, and the pain made it impossible for him to get up.

  "Considering our past relationship, I'll spare your life this time. Don't let me see you again!" Lin Qingyao's voice was cold and stern.

  The pain in Shao Jingming's heart was more painful than the wound on his body.
